Combine the cocoa powder, sugar, butter, and milk in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan.

Bring to a boil while stirring continuously and cook for 2 minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

Remove from heat and immediately pour the hot glaze evenly over the carrot cake.
💡 Chef's Tip
For an extra glossy finish, stir in an additional knob of butter off the heat before glazing. If the glaze thickens too quickly, thin it with a splash of warm milk.
