Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a nine-inch square baking pan and another pan large enough for the fruit with cooking spray.
For the Fruit
- Add the cinnamon sticks to the pan and nestle in the fruit, cut side up.
- In a small bowl, stir together the butter, syrup, orange zest and juice and vanilla extract and pour over the fruit. Set aside.
For the Streusel
- Mix together the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, cocoa powder, salt and pecan pieces, if using, in a small bowl.
- Pour over the melted butter and rub the mixture together with your fingers until crumbly and well combined.
For the Cake
- Use a hand or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to cream the butter and sugars together until pale and fluffy, about one to two minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract and yogurt.
- Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir just to combine.
- Spread a little less than half of the cake batter into the nine-inch pan.
- Scatter with half of the streusel mixture then carefully cover with the remaining cake batter.
- Sprinkle with the remaining streusel.
- Bake the cake and the fruit for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean and the fruit is cooked down and soft.
- Set aside to cool slightly or all the way to room temperature
To Serve
- Cut the cake into squares and serve topped with the roasted fruit. Enjoy!
