Answer
You should use the same amount as called for in the recipe.
Answer
According to Cooks Illustrated, imitation Vanilla has a *lot* more vanillin than real vanilla will have. Apparently, to be normal strength vanilla, you can only have so much vanilla.
There's double-strength vanilla, too, which is what I prefer to use.
