An additional soymilk is needed. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead six times together the dough. Transfer to the baking sheet and form into an 8 in. round.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until the top is lightly browned on the toothpick comes out clean. Transfer wire rack to cool. Combine all the topping ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Combine the amasake, soymilk and vanilla bean pulp in a saucepan and warm through over low heat. Stir in the dissolved kuzu and cook, stirring until mixture thickens. Set aside to cool.
To serve, place the cake on a serving platter. Spoon fruit over top, mounding generously. Whisk custard to loosen and spoon over fruit. Another way to serve is to slice the cake into wedges, place a wedge on individual plate, mound the fruit, and a generous dollop of vanilla custard.
