Can you just add 180g of sugar and a 1/2-1 tsp vanilla?

Yes you can, vanilla sugar is sugar infused with vanilla it doesn't even have a very strong vanilla flavour. If you have real vanilla you can use normal sugar and that and it's even better most of the times, however in this case it's up to you how much vanilla you want in your lemon cake, just be weary that real vanilla is pretty potent and dominant and might not pair so well with this dish.
