Food for the sweet-toothed Lorelei? (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
rock cake
'food for the sweet-toothed lorelei?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'food for the sweet' is the wordplay.
'food' becomes 'cake' (cake is a kind of food).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'the sweet' becomes 'rock' (as in a stick of rock).
'cake' after 'rock' is 'ROCK-CAKE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rock cake that I've seen before include "Rough-looking hard bun" , "Baked tooth-breaker?" .)
