Crossword Genius

Greatly multiply little bit of sugar (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cube

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'greatly multiply' is the first definition.
(as in cubing a number)

'little bit of sugar' is the second definition.
(sugar cube)

(Other definitions for cube that I've seen before include "Die" , "Times itself twice" , "Regular three dimensional figure" , "Square-sided solid" , "8 possibly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
