A sandwich tin is a type of cake tin, but it is shallower than the tin used to bake a whole cake. Typically if making a sponge you might divide the mixture between two sandwich tins, rather than baking it in one cake tin. This produces two flatter cakes (and reduces the baking time). When cold these two cakes may be 'sandwiched' together (hence the name) with jam and whipped cream to make one taller cream-filled cake. The top would then be dusted with icing sugar.

It ensures that all the layers of a cake to be stacked are the same size and avoids the fiddly and messy need to slice a cake in half horizontally if you want to fill it.
