it does not cadence on the tonic
A harmonic minor scale in the key of E flat works best. For effect, go from the tonic chord to the submediant, than the supertonic, and then to the leading tone. Then do a subdominant chord, leading to the tonic with the dominant note played with the note a half-step above the dominant. It works if you want extra drama.

leading tone
If C is the tonic, D is the supertonic.
The supertonic triad in the key of A flat major is B flat, D flat, and F natural
authentic cadence
Tonic, supertonic, mediant, subdominant, dominant, submediant, leading note, tonic again..
Tonic, supertonic, mediant, subdominant, dominant, submediant, leading note, tonic again..
In music, an authentic cadence is one where the dominant chord resolves to the tonic.
F is the tonic. Therefore, from supertonic (the second note) to supertonic is G, A flat, B flat, C, D flat, E natural (a harmonic minor scale has the 7th note raised), F, G.
it does not cadence on the tonic
In ascending order, the names for each scale degree are the tonic, supertonic, mediant, subdominant, dominant, submediant, leading tone, and the tonic again.
Ascending up the major scale, the terms for each degree are the tonic, supertonic, mediant, subdominant, dominant, submediant, leading tone, and tonic again. The prefix "super" means above the tonic, and "sub" is below the tonic.
A movement from the tonic to the dominant seventh chord.
In the perspective of European-descendent theory, the degrees of any key or scale (major, minor, or modal) can be classified as follows: 1 - Tonic 2 - Supertonic 3 - Mediant 4 - Subdominant 5 - Dominant 6 - Submediant 7 - Leading Tone Let us take the case of C major as our key/scale: C - Tonic D - Supertonic E - Mediant F - Subdominant G - Dominant A - Submediant B - Leading Tone Similarily, this works in the minor keys, too. Using A natural harmonic as our key/scale: A - Tonic B - Supertonic C - Mediant D - Subdominant E - Dominant F - Submediant G - Leading Tone
