I think melting the butter may be the problem sir. Firstly it's the sugar and butter that need mixing until they become a creamy-white colour; I don't know if this can be achieved with melted butter.
Once the eggs are well-beaten in (room temp eggs are best) the sifted self-raising flour should be lightly folded in with a wooden spoon; beating this in will only bash out the air.
Wow I have become my mum, I'm so proud. Happy baking.
Try what is known as a genoese sponge the eggs and sugar are beaten in a bowl over a saucepan of boiling water, you whist until it is light and fluffy then you add the flour very slowly mix in a figure of 8 motion do not add margarine do not beat or you will loose the fluffiness. it is a fatless sponge ...............
