My treat this week was a step into the wardrobe.  C.S. Lewis has been a favorite of mine since childhood, and I have always wished I could find myself in the middle of a wintry wood and bump into Mr. Tumnus with an armful of packages.  Then he'd invite me to a scrumptious tea by a hearth, and fill my soul with tea cakes and magical tales.  
 
I found this recipe for Mr. Tumnus' Burnt Sugar cake and there was no question that I had to try it.  Here is the link to the recipe: http://yummy-books.com/2012/07/24/tea-with-mr-tumnus/
 
I topped the cake with my own creative twists, specifically the cherries and the nuts.   It's a delicious cake.  The burnt sugar really comes through the flavor, it's not overly sweet but rich in flavor.  And so moist and decadent!  
 
I will definitely be making this again, probably as cupcakes next time.
