Hot topping for a cone? (4)

I believe the answer is:

lava

(Other definitions for lava that I've seen before include "Molten matter from volcano" , "Volcanic flowing substance" , "Flowing volcanic matter" , "Immature insect form" , "Outflow from volcano" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
