French vanilla is generally just a stronger vanilla flavor, although for the icing you could try doing a French buttercream.

Maybe add some French Vanilla liquid coffee creamer to a yellow or white recipe and regular buttercream???

I made the WASC Kakeladi version with french vanilla Yoplait yogurt instead of sour cream, French Vanilla liquid coffee creamer, and some extra vanilla, didn't measure but around 1 T or so. Also used Betty Crocker french vanilla cake mix. Personally it was just ok. I think the coffee creamer was a bit much. It smelled good - the creamer - but the cake itself was not great for me. Next time I will try water per the recipe. Also the texture seemed more coarse than fine if that makes sense.

It is a buttercream comprised of whole eggs and egg yolks whipped with a hot sugar syrup and then butter and flavorings are added.

I was at Starbucks this week, and asked for half vanilla, half hazelnut flavor in my coffee, and the girl called it French Vanilla. So maybe a bit of hazelnut into the vanilla would give it the flavor you're looking for.

not sure if you're into box cake, but the DH French Vanilla is my favorite from their entire selection.

I used this recipe but substituted the white chocolate pudding and white choc mocha for french vanilla pudding and creamer.
It was good and I got great reviews, but I thought it was a little strong for my taste.
