Having already baked a more familiar, spice-laden carrot cake with cream cheese frosting for National Carrot Cake Day, I turned instead to bolo de cenoura for this month’s bucket list bake—a version that lets the carrots truly take center stage. Milk Street’s take leans into brightness and tropical nuance, incorporating coconut cream and orange zest for a moist, vividly orange, carrot-forward crumb. And crowning it all: an orange-scented dark chocolate glaze that’s just sweet enough—nostalgic, and oddly reminiscent of Sesame Street’s Ernie.
