Purposes
Store and/or access information on a deviceOff

Cookies, device or similar online identifiers (e.g. login-based identifiers,
randomly assigned identifiers, network based identifiers) together with other
information (e.g. browser type and information, language, screen size, supported
technologies etc.) can be stored or read on your device to recognise it each
time it connects to an app or to a website, for one or several of the purposes
presented here.

Most purposes explained in this notice rely on the storage or accessing of
information from your device when you use an app or visit a website. For
example, a vendor or publisher might need to store a cookie on your device
during your first visit on a website, to be able to recognise your device during
your next visits (by accessing this cookie each time).

Use limited data to select advertisingOff

Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such
as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type
or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit
the number of times an ad is presented to you).

A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally
conscious users living in the city after office hours. The advertising is
presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change
actions) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose non-precise location suggests that they
are in an urban zone.

A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising
campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as
many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad
next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your
house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected
and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.

Create profiles for personalised advertisingOff

Information about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit,
content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you
(for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other
websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a
profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects).
Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more
relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.

If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this
information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike
accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a
different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike
accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury
car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest
in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested
in luxury cycling gear.

An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It
gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income
customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles
of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new
child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner
apps based on those profiles.

Use profiles to select personalised advertisingOff

Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on your advertising
profiles, which can reflect your activity on this service or other websites or
apps (like the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and
personal aspects.

An online retailer wants to advertise a limited sale on running shoes. It wants
to target advertising to users who previously looked at running shoes on its
mobile app. Tracking technologies might be used to recognise that you have
previously used the mobile app to consult running shoes, in order to present you
with the corresponding advertisement on the app.

A profile created for personalised advertising in relation to a person having
searched for bike accessories on a website can be used to present the relevant
advertisement for bike accessories on a mobile app of another organisation.

Measure advertising performanceOff

Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact
with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other
users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance,
whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a
product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the
relevance of advertising campaigns.

You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an
online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click
will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will
be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.

You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an
“international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app
of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a
specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international
appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in
order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad
placements.

Understand audiences through statistics or combinations of data from different
sourcesOff

Reports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user
profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your
interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising)
content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which
target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).

The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the
proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or
consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as
the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating
to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used
and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.

An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with
its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics
of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar
platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser
that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and
is likely in the 45-60 age range.

Develop and improve servicesOff

Information about your activity on this service, such as your interaction with
ads or content, can be very helpful to improve products and services and to
build new products and services based on user interactions, the type of
audience, etc. This specific purpose does not include the development or
improvement of user profiles and identifiers.

A technology platform working with a social media provider notices a growth in
mobile app users, and sees based on their profiles that many of them are
connecting through mobile connections. It uses a new technology to deliver ads
that are formatted for mobile devices and that are low-bandwidth, to improve
their performance.

An advertiser is looking for a way to display ads on a new type of consumer
device. It collects information regarding the way users interact with this new
kind of device to determine whether it can build a new mechanism for displaying
advertising on this type of device.

DOLESTER MILES’ COCONUT PECAN CAKE


RECIPE FROM DOLESTER MILES


ADAPTED BY KIM SEVERSON



Andrew Scrivani for The New York Times
Total TimeAbout 1½ hours, plus chilling
Rating4(2,056)NotesRead 198 community notes

This is a rich, special-occasion cake that takes the traditional Southern
coconut cake to another level, with ground toasted pecans in the batter and an
easy-to-make Chantilly cream for frosting. It has become the signature dessert
for Dolester Miles, who serves slices over a little puddle of crème anglaise at
Chez Fonfon and Bottega, and sometimes at the Highlands Bar & Grill, the
Birmingham, Ala., restaurants owned by Frank and Pardis Stitt. Assembly can be a
challenge, so she suggests building the cake by stacking the delicate slabs of
cake with filling in between each layer into a deep, round cake pan, then
slipping it into the refrigerator for about an hour. The filling acts like a
delicious glue. When the cake is inverted and unmolded, the edges have an even,
professional appearance. —Kim Severson

PREPARATION

 1. Step 1
    
    Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line the
    bottom of each with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper, then dust
    with flour, tapping out excess.

 2. Step 2
    
    Finely grind the coconut in a food processor, then transfer to a bowl. Add
    pecans to the food processor, along with 2 tablespoons sugar, and finely
    grind them.

 3. Step 3
    
    In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in
    coconut and pecans.

 4. Step 4
    
    In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter, cream
    of coconut and the remaining sugar on high speed until light and fluffy,
    about 4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition and
    scraping down the bowl as necessary, then beat in coconut extract.

 5. Step 5
    
    Add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the coconut milk,
    starting and ending with flour mixture. Divide batter between the pans and
    smooth the top of each with a spatula. Bake until cakes are golden and a
    tester comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cakes cool in the pans on a
    wire rack for 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of each cake, invert
    onto rack, and remove the parchment. Let cool completely.

 6. Step 6
    
    Meanwhile, make the filling: Place egg yolks in a small heatproof bowl and
    set aside. In a saucepan, combine condensed milk, butter and cream of
    coconut and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until hot, about
    4 minutes. Whisk ⅓ of the hot milk into the egg yolks. Transfer egg mixture
    to the saucepan of milk and whisk constantly over medium-low heat until
    mixture has the consistency of pudding, about 4 minutes. Do not let the
    custard get too thick. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the shredded coconut.
    Let cool completely.

 7. Step 7
    
    Make the simple syrup: In a saucepan, heat sugar and ½ cup water, stirring
    occasionally, until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat.

 8. Step 8
    
    Assemble the layer cake in a pan: Cut each cake in half horizontally. Place
    one layer in the bottom of a 9-inch cake pan, moisten the top with 2 to 3
    tablespoons simple syrup and spread ½ cup of the coconut filling in a thin,
    even layer with an offset spatula. Repeat to make 2 more layers of cake and
    filling, then place the last layer on top. Refrigerate cake for about 1
    hour. To unmold, run a spatula around the edges, invert a cake plate over
    the top, and flip the cake over onto the plate.

 9. Step 9
    
    Make the icing: Whip the cream with the confectioners’ sugar and coconut
    extract until stiff peaks form. Spread on the top and sides of the cake and
    sprinkle with toasted coconut. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

It's neither incredible nor uncommon. Recipes written by professional chefs are
generally written for professional kitchens, and are often quite difficult to
make at home. We report and test and check back with the authors and test again
-- always in search of a recipe that is both entirely faithful to the chef's
vision and cookable by anyone, in any kitchen. That's the adaptation we're
talking about here and across our site. Hope that's helpful.

I would think so - it doesn't make sense that 2 cakes could be split, filled and
assembled in one standard cake pan. I would use the ring of a springform pan set
right on top of my presentation plate - wouldn't need to flip the cake, just run
a knife around the inside of the ring, unclip it and you're ready to frost.

The recipe calls for Cream of Coconut which would be something such as Coco
Lopez or Coco Réal. This is altogether different from coconut cream or coconut
milk found in the International food isles usually used for Thai cooking. Cream
of Coconut contains allot of sugar as well as coconut oil while coconut cream is
the processed pulp of coconuts and not nearly as sweet. Cream of Coconut is
found in the liquor and wine section of most supermarkets and is used primarily
as a mixer for drinks.

I’m a Home Ec teacher and I made this today. The taste is fabulous! Here are my
tips: Do not use a high fat European butter. Stick to American style of butter.
Don’t use White Lily flour. It’s too delicate. Use Gold Medal, King Arthur or
Pillsbury. Absolutely use parchment paper in the bottom of the pans. It does
take some time but it’s not difficult.

You can use 3 cake pans to avoid having to split layers. Freezing the layers
makes it much easier to add the filling and icing as well.

Coconut milk, coconut cream & cream of coconut are 3 different things. Coconut
milk & coconut cream are infusions of shredded coconut boiled in water; the
higher the concentration of coconut to water, the closer to coconut cream. No
sugar is added. Neither is commonly used in western desserts. Cream of coconut
is coconut cream infused with sugar; sort of like condensed milk. It is commonly
used in frothy drinks and desserts, and is the ingredient called for in this
recipe.

Take care with cocoanut cream. I have found there are two kinds, one sold for
Hispanic cookery (Goya, for example) which is rather sweetened, and another for
Asian cooking (Thai Kitchens, for example) that is not sweet. This recipe is not
explicit in this regard, so I suggest the unsweetened, since it is much easier
to sweeten to taste than vice-versa.

Great recipe, great cake, but not for the beginner. Don't waste money on pecan
halves, since you grind them anyway. Use pecan pieces.

I made this cake with Coco Lopez sweet coconut cream and the Thai unsweet
coconut milk it was a delicious I also did something different I found condensed
coconut milk and I used it and it came out divine it’s a beautiful cake
everybody raved about it. It is lovely and light really really nice the one
thing I would suggest is to get the coconut extract that makes a difference but
the cake is fabulous.

I can't wait to make this cake this weekend. I love the cream icing, which my
Southern mother always used for her fabulous coconut cake. And a traditional
Southern coconut cake should always be made with sweetened coconut, as it is
here. It's so exciting to have a highly skilled Alabama pastry chef as this
year's winner. Far too few people understand the long and rich tradition of
Alabama cakes, which are even more important there than elsewhere In the South.

Does one use cream of coconut such as Coco Lopez or coconut cream available
canned and used in Thai cooking...as differentiated from coconut milk also used
in Thai cooking? I know this isn't a comment but would like to get the correct
ingredients. Any help is appreciated.

I made this cake and it is absolutely the best cake and filling I've tasted in
ages, if not ever. I did not use pan liners and want to save bakers from my
mistake - LINE YOUR PANS. My cakes broke because they stuck, even though I had
buttered and flour-dusted my pans. I turned the cake layers into trifles by
layering the cake, filling, and whipped cream instead of the frosting.
Delicious.

Paul5 years ago

The cake layers are delicious just as written. I used TJ's full-fat coconut
milk, Coco Perez coconut cream, and I omitted the 1/4 t coconut extract.
Southern cakes can be unbearably sweet to the Northern palate, so I simply
filled and topped with unsweetened whipped cream without splitting the layers.
You need a total of a pint of heavy cream.

I love coconut, so when I saw this cake, I knew I wanted to make it this
weekend. But when I read the recipe, I also knew I would drastically decrease
the amount of sugar going into it. I did this by reducing the sugar in the cake
batter from 2 cups to 1 & quarter cups, used unsweetened flaked coconut in the
flour mixture, & used unsweetened coconut in the filling. Still light, delicious
& sweet enough. I stuck with 2 layers rather than 4 and spread the filling in
the middle & on top.

Made this for a casual dinner party and it was a hit. Even my picky kids - that
say they only love chocolate cake - devoured it. Sadly couldn’t find crème
coconut in my small town. Muddled my way through using the thick separated part
of canned coconut milk. Still tasted great. My cakes were easy to work with to
split and ice, and very moist. I served the whipped cream on each slice with a
sprinkle of coconut. Will make again!

Could you substitute coconut extract for the Cream of Coconut liqueur?

Is this helpful?
Madeline28 minutes ago

I would not advise that. Coconut extract would provide a VERY intense flavor
that would overshadow the other flavors of this cake. That’s why the amount of
it in the recipe is so small—you get a lot of flavor from a tiny amount!

You NEED a scale for this. My measuring cup amounts were all WAY more in weight
than the recipe called for so definitely go by weight! The only adjustment I
made (is it really a NYT Cooking comment if you don’t make a change?!) was
splitting the batter between 3 cake pans instead of 2, so 3 layers total not 4.
Not only was it easier, it was less dense than the restaurant version which
everyone actually really liked! Next time I’ll make extra icing, it didn’t make
quite enough.

super delicious - definitely very sweet and I did half unsweetened half
sweetened coconut flakes. doubled the filling and the frosting; had extra
frosting. light and moist cake that everyone absolutely loved! highly recommend
this recipe and honestly it didn’t feel like it was an insane amount of effort,
of course it was more than a dump cake but this was easily made ahead with cake
and filling made on day one and frosting and decorating done on day two.

Used King Arthur Flour and Land of Lakes unsalted butter. I did not toast the
nuts as the birthday girl does not like them that way. This cake was very moist
and delicious. I also made a coconut butter cream as that was requested. I can
see why it had a Chantilly frosting. The butter cream was almost too rich. I did
not cut the cake layers. Next time I would just make three layers, as someone
else suggested. The filling is very similar to what is in a German chocolate
cake.

This cake is one of the best things I have put into my mouth. It looks gorgeous,
cuts like a dream, and what I thought was going to be too sweet was just
perfect. Thanks to all of your suggestions! Used three pans for instant layers.
Definitely double the filling (can't imagine how it could be enough for 3
layers) and I made 1 1/2 times the chantilly cream and was happy I did. Added
chopped pecans to the filling. Big success!

Yep, this cake is divine. I did cut the sugar in various ways because I couldn't
fathom eating it as written. No simple syrup, half the amount of sugar for the
icing and unsweetened coconut throughout. Anything more is gilding the lily! The
advice in notes to double the filling and icing is spot-on as well.

The amount of sugar in this initially made me nervous. I ended up slightly
lowering the sugar content and it was delicious but might try with less next
time. I used 350 grams of sugar in the cake batter, that includes the amount in
with the pecans. I also used 1/2 unsweetened and 1/2 sweetened coconut for every
time it called for shredded coconut. I might try using all unsweetened next
time. I omitted the simple syrup completely and instead used the remaining
coconut milk from the can.

This was a gooey hit. I baked 3 9-inch layers for almost 30 minutes. I made 1.5
times the filling, which was ample. Then I ran out of steam and put 1/2 in. of
Dolly Parton butter cream frosting on top, with coconut sprinkled all over. The
sides of the cake had a rustic look because the ample filling oozes slightly
over the sides. The pecan flour adds a nuttiness that makes the cake taste less
sugary. I constructed it on a cake plate, with an inserted chop stick to hold
layers in place.
