Cakephp is a framework built on top of PHP. There is really nothing all that special about Cakephp when it comes to scaling your site. The basic techniques of scaling a web application for a LAMP stack are the same weather or not your using Cakephp. Change your search and leave out the 'cakephp' keyword and look at articles that talk about scaling a LAMP stack.
Then take those individual techniques of memcache, NFS, CDN, Database Replication, Session mgt, etc. And look for articles that talk about each of the specific techniques in regards to Cakephp. And even then the techniques often times have nothing to do with Cakephp. You'll find much more relevant information and having a good overview understanding of scaling a basic LAMP stack will help you understand more about what area of your application needs to be most scalable. For an example it makes no sense to add multiple servers if the problem could be better resolved by simply doubling the memory in your current server. This is where performance profiling really pays off. You need to know what your bottle necks are, and you need to know what the correct solution to that bottle neck will be. There is no one size fits all scalability plan. But there are specific techniques to deal with a specific problem. Understanding what the field of scalability has to offer for your underlying technologies is key to being successful in solving your bottlenecks.
