Feminine, and she pronounces it like the word cake, too.

There's a female character of that name in the Wizard of Us: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Oz_characters_(created_by_Baum)#Cayke. Alternatively, it could be a variation of the male Brazilian name Caíque — pronounced [kah-ee-kee] in Brazilian Portuguese —, which is of indigenous origin that has many creative spellings (Kayky, Kaique, Kaike, Kaic, Kaick, Caique, Kayque...). "Cayke" would be pronounced exactly the same in Brazilian Portuguese. A brief search on Facebook shows several Brazilian men with this name in this particular spelling.Considering this is a girl, I imagine the first option is more likely.
