Any idea what this cake tin is for?

[ILoveAFullFridge]

I've been given a slightly odd cake tin. Circular, 8.5" across the base, 9.25" across the top. The strange thing is its height: 4.5" tall, nearly twice the height of an ordinary cake tin. It's non-stick, so can't be very old.

I have no idea what it's for (neither did its giver, which was why she gave it to me!).

Any thoughts?

Christmas Cake? That needs a fairly tall tin, doesn't it?

Like a bundt cake tin without the middle bit?

A half size fruit cake? Like Christmas/wedding cake?

I was just looking on Lakeland and they have some that are 3.5 tall but they don't say they are for anything special. Just 'deep cake tins'.

Picture?

Does it have smooth sides or wavy?

What are Italian Christmas cakes cooked in? I can't remember what they are called Pannetoni or something?

Does it have a flat base? Or one that would create a donught cake?
First - is the the bottom half of a cupcake tin? So you need the top tin also?
Second - sounds like an angel cake tin

Flat base, smooth side.

I don't have any recipes that require such a deep tin. I've made plenty of Xmas/wedding cakes, and can't imagine ever making such a deep one.

I wonder whether it is indeed a pannetone tin.

Angel food cake tins have a cone in the middle. So not that.

Could it be a tin for a charlotte? You know, the pudding that has sponge fingers around the outside, and a sort of moussey filling. From memory that's done in a deep tin with slightly sloping sides.
