Leaver: can I claim, outrageously, you might have your cake and eat it? (7,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
vanilla ice cream
'might have your cake and eat it?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'leaver can i claim outrageously' is the wordplay.
'outrageously' indicates an anagram.
'leaver'+'can'+'i'+'claim'='leavercaniclaim'
'leavercaniclaim' is an anagram of 'VANILLA ICE CREAM'.
'you' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
