Have you tried to put you view in the template folder, and make a layout file. Use proper naming conventions, and all should display just fine. See the blog tutorial part 2
<!-- File: src/Template/Articles/index.ctp -->
<h1>Blog articles</h1>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Id</th>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Created</th>
</tr>
<!-- Here is where we iterate through our $articles query object, printing out article info -->
<?php foreach ($articles as $article): ?>
<tr>
<td><?= $article->id ?></td>
<td>
<?= $this->Html->link($article->title, ['action' => 'view', $article->id]) ?>
</td>
<td>
<?= $article->created->format(DATE_RFC850) ?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</table>
the view is in templates
Then read the docs on layouts something like
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title><?= h($this->fetch('title')) ?></title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<!-- Include external files and scripts here (See HTML helper for more info.) -->
<?php
echo $this->fetch('meta');
echo $this->fetch('css');
echo $this->fetch('script');
?>
</head>
<body>
<!-- If you'd like some sort of menu to
show up on all of your views, include it here -->
<div id="header">
<div id="menu">...</div>
</div>
<!-- Here's where I want my views to be displayed -->
<?= $this->fetch('content') ?> //////////////THIS IS DISPLAYING THE VIEW////////////////////
<!-- Add a footer to each displayed page -->
<div id="footer">...</div>
</body>
</html>
