Sugar, we’re goin upside down. (I’m not done with delicata squash recipes just yet!! A few years ago at frenchlouienyc, I was truly shook by their delicata squash tarte tatin and have been obsessed with using this fall superstar in desserts ever since. I live and breathe for upside down cakes, but mainly the #asmr gold of pouring hot caramel on just about anything, so here’s a squash upside down cake that’s extremely *moist*. And tbh I thoroughly considered skipping voice over for this one and just playing A*teens!)
