No. In "informal American English" it sounds more like "'Kay" than "CAKE." You won't hear the "k" at the end.

No, Okay, sounds like OKay. ( O - K ) Some people are 'lazy' and leave off the O from the beginning.

Some will 'double up' the response and say K K (Yes, yes).

K is often used as the abbreviation for Okay when texting.

In informal American English, "okay" is often pronounced as "kay" or even just "ay," but it typically does not sound like "cake." The pronunciation can vary regionally or among different speakers, but "ca" as in "cake" is not a common pronunciation for "okay."

Do you use a singular verb with a collective noun?

Yes, you generally use a singular verb for a collective noun because the collective noun is treated as if it is singular. For example, "government" is a collective noun, and it takes a singular verb: The government is very stable in that country. "Team" is another collective noun. My favorite team is the Blue Jays. But it should be noted that British English sometimes uses a plural verb with a collective noun, where in American English, it's a singular verb. For example, British English would say "the government are..." or "the team are..." where in American English, we would say the government is, or the team is. So, do not be shocked if you are reading a British book and you see this difference in usage.

How would you pronounce the word GIRL in informal US english.I noted that it is pronounced like GAL is it true?

No, Gal is another word for Girl, but they are two separate words and pronounced differently. And there is no 'informal US English,' just different dialects. This differs from region to region. The deep south and Texas would pronounce it this way, but in the northern areas it's pronounced more like "Gurl." Most Canadians pronounce it that way.
