Chicken farm bakers' project # 38 : Egg white free, gluten free and also non dairy dessert, Allergen free Boston cream cake

It's not easy for me to make this project, the Chicken farm bakers' project # 38 : Egg white free, gluten free and also non dairy dessert, I had to thrown away the first trial of my cake.

The point of this project is to create any kinds of western style dessert, that must be free from gluten, egg white and dairy product, so the host of this month ^^ will be able to bake something special for her son's friend.
I rarely bake something like this because no one in my family has that kind of problem (Lucky me!). So I think that the people who have this problem will need some sweet that both look great and delicious (as much as it could be).
So, my idea is to make allergen free cake that look the same as the normal one, but I have to accept one simple fact that "it can't taste exactly the same".
My first cake was disaster, changing formula in baking is not easy, sounds like learning chemistry and yes, it is. Cake that contains no egg and gluten, will lack the structure, so my cake collapsed and torn apart. 
I reduce the problem by using cornstarch, it has starch that will help in holding the cake together, and voila, I got my cake done.
For the filling, luckily that the boy can eat the yolk, so I use the egg yolk with coconut milk to make the coconut custard cream. The ganache made from dark chocolate (70% of cocoa mass, , the boy can eat it too, but if you have allergic to it, try finding the one that made from soy fat) and  thicken it by the gelatin, well ^^ it sets properly.
I feel great that I can finish this project at last, because the first time that I read the project I think that I had to skip it, haha, it's not easy!!!
My tasters have mix opinion, but it's good than bad, so I think that this one is good enough to give the recipe, anyway, the point that I have to say and want you to accept is it doesn't have the same taste as the original one.
PS. I made very small batch of this cake. If you can't eat egg yolk change the filling into jam is a good idea too.
