 What is a sandwich pan? My daughter's sixteenth birthday is on Thursday. I found a dark chocolate sponge cake recipe in a book by Gerhard Jenne. The recipe starts like this: "Grease two 7-inch sandwich pans..." This is a cake! I have searched the web and can't really find any "sandwich pans" appropriate for baking a cake, the ones I could find seem to be cast iron or inappropriate in some other way. Does anyone know what/where these pans might be?  |

| Sounds to me like it's going to be a layer cake. Two 7-inch diameter cake pans. Later, you'll take the two layers and sandwich frosting between them. |

| Took a little look and sure enough, in the UK, a cake pan is sometimes called a sandwich pan. Image of one below:  |

| I found the answer, thanks! In the UK it is a sandwich pan, here in the USA it is a springform pan. |

| not to be picky, but i always thought the springform was the kind with the sort of spring clamp on the side, otherwise simply loose-bottom pan. Doesn't matter much for practical reasons, but before i found the clamping pans, i never could understand why they would call them "springform" since there was no spring. |

| Sandwich tins Sandwich pans have a side depth of around 1.5 inches [38cm]. They are traditionally used in the baking of sponge cakes. After baking and cooling, the two cakes are sandwiched together with a filling - then the entire cake is iced, glazed or dusted.

| More evidence of the wisdom of the "two peoples separated by a common language" line. |
