Extract covering spicy nuts in baked alcoholic confection (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
tipsy cake
'baked alcoholic confection' is the definition.
(cake containing alcohol)
'extract covering spicy nuts' is the wordplay.
'extract' becomes 'take' (to extract something is to take it out).
'covering' indicates putting letters inside.
'nuts' indicates an anagram (nuts can mean crazy).
'spicy' anagrammed gives 'ipsyc'.
'take' enclosing 'ipsyc' is 'TIPSY-CAKE'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for tipsy cake that I've seen before include "Dessert of sponge soaked with wine or spirits" , "Trifle with alcohol, almonds and crystallised fruit" , "Trifle with white wine or sherry" , "Pudding" , "sweet" .)
