Instructions- For the fruit: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan and another pan large enough for the fruit with cooking spray.
- 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.
- 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, 1 to 2 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, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon 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 9-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.
