Netbeans has a PHP/HTML version which works great. I've been using it just for a few weeks and I'm converted.

 

Before that I would use jEdit or Textpad but neither of them have the jump-to-definition functionality you're describing.

 

We also have a thread devoted to editors, so check there.

You don't need a specific IDE for a specific framework, Cake or otherwise. While some IDEs include "support" for libraries and frameworks, after a decade I've yet to come across a framework that makes those features a significant accelerator. Pick your IDE based on your workflow. Just give a couple a good try, it's 90% preference when choosing between full-featured IDEs.
