Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a muffin tray with 10 paper liners.

Step 2

Cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Add the eggs and beat until smooth. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat until combined, being careful not to over-mix.

Step 3

Divide the batter between the 10 lined muffin wells. Bake until the cupcakes are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 4

Let the cupcakes cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Step 5

If desired, once they’re cool top each cupcake with whipped cream and a few fresh berries.
