A brilliant diagonal pass from Pierre-Emile Hoejbjerg to Sergio Regulon down the left saw the Spanish defender deliver a pin-point cross to Kane in the middle, who dived in with a header to make it 1-1.
The Cottagers will be thanking their number one Alphonse Areola who made a couple of fantastic saves in the first half.
Spurs should have been 2-0 up as Son Heung-Min broke loose from a counter-attack but his effort hit the post after the break.
But Fulham dominated most parts of the second period and kept on asking questions until they finally got the breakthrough.
Substitute Haruna Lookman provided the cross that gave Cavaleiro a brilliant header in the 74th minute to even matters at 1-1.
And that was it ended for Jose Mourinho's side as his team dropped to sixth on the Premier League table while Scott Parker's men are still third from the bottom of the log.
