If your vanilla flavoring is "imitation vanilla" it can be substituted for vanilla extract. In actuality, vanilla extract tastes better in candies and frostings, but in a cake is not that different. You can actually substitute other extracts as well, for example almond, for a subtly different taste. However, if your vanilla flavoring is a syrup like for coffee drinks, than it is not a good substitute--if that is all you have it is better to leave the extract out, it will only make a very subtle taste difference that few will notice. (Trust me, I have done this by accident when I was in a hurry--have baked for over 35 years, so very confident you will be ok if you need to skip it.)

yes

extract has alcohol :)
and dont we love that
yum:)

yes - it works just fine (flavoring is sugar, water, and caramel color but it doesn't make a difference!)

vanilla extract, the real deal
Vanilla flavoring imitation vanilla
