Pure vanilla chemically has over 200 elemental chemicals that give it its taste and smell, and it is impossible to mimic this 100% today. The main compound that gives real vanilla its taste is called vanillin. Madagascan vanilla has 3 times as much vanillin concentration (and therefore taste) compared to its nearest competition the Mexican Bourbon variety, and this is why it has such a reputation.
Also, in order to meet FDA standards, pure vanilla extract must contain 13.35 ounces of vanilla beans per gallon during extraction and 35 percent alcohol.
Vanilla Extract is better than imitation vanilla for non-baked and cold desserts where heating does not take away the flavor, but imitation vanilla flavor is very similar when used in baked items.
Add your answer:
Would you use the same amount of vanilla extract as you would vanilla flavoring?

No. Vanilla extract is real vanilla and the extract means that vanilla bean is soaked in alcohol to extract the vanilla into the alcohol. Imitation vanilla is extracted from wood chips.

Essence is defined as possessing the qualities of something in concentrated form and extract is a solution (as in alcohol) of essential constituents of a complex material.

But according to Wikipedia "An extract consists of a certain percentage of true essence, or its chemical imitation, in an alcoholic solution". So as a commercial product they may be the same.

What Mesurement is equivalant for pure vanilla when a recipe calls for vanilla extract?

No, they aren't the same. Vanilla extract is extracted from the vanilla bean, and the FDA sets standards for the percentage of vanilla and alcohol in the extract. From what I have read, vanilla essence is much stronger, and it can either be derived from vanilla beans or from synthetic sources. Additionally, some forms of vanilla essence are not food grade, not for consumption, based on the method of creating the essence, and are intended more for perfume and scent purposes, I suppose.
Can you substitute vanilla extract with vanilla essence?
yes you can because they are practicly the same just with different names Vanilla Essence does not have alcohol in it, and is at least double the strength to that of Vanilla Extract, which has alcohol in it.

It won't poison you, but it may degrade in strength so that you don't get as much vanilla flavor out of the same amount of flavoring. Eventually it will begin to taste stale. By placing an expiration date on it, the manufacturers protects themselves from consumers complaining that it doesn't taste right. e.g. if it's 25 years old, of COURSE it doesn't taste right - it's way past the "expiration date."
Is artificial and pure vanilla extract measured the same?
