Do you have a reproduction without @electron-forge/plugin-vite?
If not, then the issue is likely there, so it's probably better to report it to https://github.com/electron/forge

No problem with the branch https://github.com/rtritto/electron-vite-react/tree/test-cacheDir.
Reproduction:

• git clone https://github.com/rtritto/electron-vite-react.git
• cd electron-vite-react
• yarn vite
• the .vite/cache directory has been created

I created the issue electron/forge#3630 on electron-forge, so I will close this issue for now.
