DIRECTIONS

STEP 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line bottoms of 6 cups of a large (1-cup) muffin tin with parchment; set aside. Whisk flour, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, and salt in a bowl; set aside.

STEP 2
Whisk 1/3 cup water, the egg yolks, oil, lemon zest, and vanilla in another bowl. Whisk into flour mixture until combined.

STEP 3
Put egg whites and cream of tartar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; beat on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; beat until stiff (but not dry) peaks form. Fold one-third of egg-white mixture into batter, then fold in remaining egg-white mixture. Divide evenly among prepared cups.

STEP 4
Bake until golden and puffed, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely in tin on a wire rack. Run a knife around edges of cakes to loosen. Unmold; remove parchment. Dip bottom of each cake into icing, and transfer, icing sides up, to a wire rack set over parchment; let set 30 minutes. Serve garnished with sugared violets.
