Bake Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced oven. Line muffin or mini-muffin pans with paper cases.
Using an electric whisk, beat softened butter and caster sugar together until pale and fluffy, then whisk in eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
Add vanilla extract, self-raising flour and a pinch of salt, whisk until just combined, then spoon the mixture into the cupcake cases.
Bake for 15 mins until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the middle of each cake comes out clean. Leave to cool completely.
