Notes
Don't over-vanilla it: If you're going to use French vanilla cake mix, you won't need the vanilla extract in the cake batter.
Even out the topping: If it's hard to spread the streusel layer on top, lightly grease a spatula and use that to smooth it.
Keep it covered: The cake dries out fast if it's not covered, so make sure you keep it covered!
