For the cake: In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the cake mix, eggs, vanilla, margarine, and the ½ cup reserved juice from the mandarin oranges. Beat on medium-high speed until smooth, about ⏱️ 4 minutes. Add the drained oranges and beat again until the pieces are broken up and small, about ⏱️ 30 seconds. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to ⏱️ 30 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a rack, about ⏱️ 1 hour. If desired, turn the cake out onto a large platter.
