___ cake (dessert with a liquid chocolate core) (4)

I believe the answer is:

lava

(Other definitions for lava that I've seen before include "Hot flowing rock" , "What volcano ejects" , "Molten rock from volcanoes" , "It flows from volcano" , "Molten rock expelled by a volcano" .)

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