Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.

In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the coconut milk and vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the shredded coconut.
