I believe the answer is:

icing sugar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'material' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for icing sugar that I've seen before include "Cake covering" , "Sweet stuff used for cake topping" , "Sweet powder used on cakes etc" .)
