Hi unless whatever you need to develope absolutely needs to be a component, why not install cake in a folder separate (or inside) from you joomla installation, configure it to work from there and later create a wrapper (which is a nice name for iframe ) in a content from joomla and point that wrapper to the url of you cakephp installation.
I haven't tried this by myself but I can't see why it wouldn't work.
