The setter's cake includes top of icing and good filling (7)
I believe the answer is:
imbuing
'filling' is the definition.
(imbuing is a kind of filling)
'the setter's cake includes top of icing and good' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'setter's' could be 'im' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'im' is found within the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is located in the answer.
'good' could be 'g' (abbreviation) and 'g' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
