Butter the holes of a muffin tin and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks with half of the sugar until thick and creamy. Beat the egg whites with the other half of the sugar until stiff. Stir the oil and orange juice into the egg yolk mixture. Mix the flour and baking powder and stir into the mixture. Fold in the beaten egg whites and fill the prepared muffin tin with the mixture. Bake in the preheated oven (bottom shelf) for about 25 minutes. Take out and leave to cool.
