James Martin serves up a delicious American dessert – ice box cake – that needs no cooking on today’s episode of James Martin: Home Cooking.

James says: “This cake is made up of homemade coffee biscuits piled into layers with ginger syrup and cream to hold it all together.”

The Saturday Kitchen host also says: “This cake was designed for New York housewives who brought good quality cookies readymade, but you could use ginger nuts or chocolate biscuits from the shops.”
