There's an out-of-tree version of cake here that should theoretically
build as a module if you have the right kernel-headers installed

https://github.com/dtaht/sch_cake:

However, RHEL kernels (and thus CentOS) lie about their kernel versions,
so it may be that all the compatibility stuff for old kernels we have in
that repo is going to break. Feel free to give it a shot, though.

Or, y'know, just upgrade to CentOS 8 ;)
