Moist Coconut Cupcakes (to accompany the best coconut frosting!)

So I finally perfected the recipe for coconut cupcakes! (I posted the recipe for the frosting a while back, which is also great on chocolate cupcakes, carrot cake, or... on a spoon.) Here are the cupcakes to match the frosting. :) And they are perhaps the moistest cupcakes I have ever eaten. Frosting recipe here:

Coconut Cupcakes
Ingredients:
-1 3/4 cups flour
-1 cup sugar
-1 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp baking powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1 cup coconut milk
-1/2 cup non-flavored oil, like vegetable or rapeseed
-2 tbsp vanilla
-1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
-1/2 cup coconut shavings (garnish)

Method:
Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. In a smaller bowl, whick together the milk, oil, vinegar, vanilla and vinegar. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix until just combined, but don't over-mix.

Let this sit for about 15 minutes in the bowl.

Spoon batter into muffin liners in the muffin tin about 2/3 full and bake for about 18-19 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean). If you're going to frost them, let them cool completely on a rack first. Frost with the amazing frosting (recipe above) and then dust with coconut shavings for garnish. Would also be great with a berry-flavored frosting for a little bit of tartness!
