LEMON-DILL CHICKEN CAKES

• Combine the chicken, panko, mayonnaise, egg, dill, mustard, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a bowl. Gently form into eight 3/4-inch-thick patties, then freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle some panko on a plate. Coat the patties on both sides in the panko, pressing gently to adhere.

CHICKEN PATTIES (EASY CHICKEN CAKES) RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together: 2 eggs, 1/3 cup mayo, 1/3 cup flour, 3 Tbsp dill, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp black pepper and 1 tsp lemon zest.
• Add in shredded chicken and 1 1/3 cups shredded mozzarella then stir until chicken is well coated in batter.
• Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture at least 30 minutes (this will help with forming patties). Use a trigger release ice cream scoop to divide into 12-15 cakes then form into 1/2-inch thick patties. Dip both sides in Panko crumbs.
• Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil and half of the chicken patties. Sauté for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown, adding more oil as needed. Repeat with remaining patties.
• As soon as patties are off the heat, sprinkle with salt and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the patties. Serve warm.

BONNIE'S CHICKEN CAKES

Steps:

• 1. MAKE THE CHIPOTLE SAUCE Mix all the ingredients for the chipotle sauce in a small bowl.
• 2. MAKE THE CHICKEN CAKES Mix the chicken, chipotle sauce, onion, egg, jalapeno rings, cilantro, panko bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Combine thoroughly, using a little more panko if needed, and gently shape into 4 to 6 patties.
• 3. DREDGE THE CHICKEN CAKES Lightly coat each cake on both sides with flour, then egg, then panko bread crumbs. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.
• 4. FRY THE CHICKEN CAKES: Heat oil in a nonstick frying pan unil very hot but not smoking. Fry the chicken cakes without crowding until golden brown. Serve each cake with a tablespoon of the chipotle sauce.
• 5. COOK'S TIP It is a good way to use leftover chicken, pork chops, or turkey and you can change it up with your own ingredients. Once you learn the technique, you will memorize it, as it is very easy to prepare. I serve whole cranberry sauce with turkey cakes. I serve hot apple pie filling with pork chop cakes. I am sure you can come up with your own variations!!

BUTTER RUM BONNIE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. While waiting, grease and flour a 13x9 inch pan. You can also use two 9 inch pans or three 8 inch pans if you prefer a layer cake.
• Start with the cake ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, mix the sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla on low speed until the mixture begins to get fluffy. This usually takes two or three minutes if your butter is nice and soft.
• Beat the mixture on high speed (the highest your mixer will go!) for five minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl to ensure complete mixing. This step is very important; do not skip it to save time! It will make all the difference in the fluffiness of the cake. The mixture should be pale and resemble cheesecake filling by the time you are finished mixing.
• Beat in the flour, baking powder, salt and milk alternately on low speed. The mixture will thicken considerably as more flour is added. This is great for giving those arm muscles a workout!
• Add the rum or rum flavoring and give the mixture a final mix on low speed. You can add a little more rum if you're so inclined, but too much will ruin the consistency of the cake. Save it for the glaze or get yourself a drink!
• Pour the mixture into your pan(s).
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. For 13x9 pans this is approximately 45-50 minutes; for layers this is approximately 30-35 minutes.
• Let the cake cool while you make the glaze.
• Heat the butter in a small saucepan over low heat until it is fully melted.
• Slowly add the rum or rum flavoring and the powdered sugar. Make sure you take the time to dissolve the sugar, it can take a few minutes to fully melt. The glaze should thicken considerably by the time the last of the sugar is added. You can add more rum than the amount listed if you're so inclined, but too much will cause consistency problems.
• If the glaze is too thick, add hot water one tablespoon at a time until it reaches the consistency you want. For this cake I prefer leaving it on the thicker side (1-2 tablespoons of water at the most) but it is a matter of personal taste.
• Add the nutmeg and cinnamon. These spices are optional, but they add a lot of character to the glaze and give it a flavor similar to a hot buttered rum - yum! Add more if you like this combination, the amounts listed are conservative for what my family in particular enjoys!
• Let the glaze cool for a minute or two and then pour it over the top of the cooled cake. Use a spatula or spoon to help make sure the cake gets fully covered if the glaze is on the thicker side. To really make sure the glaze gets into the cake, you can poke holes in the top of the cake with a fork before pouring - this will help the cake soak up the glaze.
• Let the cake sit for at least half an hour before serving. This will give the glaze time to harden up a little and become more like a smooth frosting than a wet glaze.
• Serve and enjoy! You can sprinkle a little extra nutmeg and cinnamon over the top for presentation, but I've found that the taste of the cake requires no bells and whistles to get attention! It may look and feel simple, but this is deceptive once you get a taste of what you've made.
