The Cake runner for .NET Core is deprecated and it is suggested to use Cake .NET Tool for running Cake under .NET Core.
Requirements
The Cake.CoreCLR NuGet package is a runner compiled for .NET Core 2.0.
Usage
dotnet Cake.dll [script] [switches]
Switches
| Switch | Description | Available Since |

--target=<target> is not a switch of the runner, but a custom switch which scripts often implement to invoke a specific task.
Custom switches
All switches not recognized by Cake will be added to an argument list that is passed to the build script. See Arguments And Environment Variables how to read arguments in your script.
Use a space instead of = if the value of a switch can be empty or null:
--foo ""
