Followed the instructions and get the following error:

python --version
Python 3.11.1

Anything missing ?

The bundled version of Cake is written for Python 2, where Python 3 support is meant to come during the build process of the Cake package (i.e when the setup.py is built) which runs 2to3 over the code base.

As its being pulled in merely as a sub-module it means its expecting Python 2.7 is used.

For Windows, you may wish to use the vcpkg instead, which will in turn use CMake (and it has its own CMakeLists.txt).
