Prepare the Cupcake Batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1¾ cups of all-purpose flour, 1½ teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, cream together ½ cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, followed by 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with ½ cup of coconut milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Stir in ½ cup of crushed pineapple and ½ cup of sweetened shredded coconut.

Bake the Cupcakes

Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Divide the cupcake batter evenly among the liners, filling each one about ¾ of the way full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
