Please follow the steps:

step 1: In this file (app\Config\email.php) add this:

public $gmail = array(
        'transport' => 'Smtp',
        'from' => array('site@localhost' => 'Any Text...'),
        'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
                'port' => 465,
        'timeout' => 30,
        'username' => 'youremail@example.com',
        'password' => 'yourPassword',
        'client' => null,
        'log' => false,
        //'charset' => 'utf-8',
        //'headerCharset' => 'utf-8',
    );

step 2: Add an email template (app\View\Emails\html\sample.ctp)

step 3: Change the code in your method as shown below:

public function send_my_email() {
        App::uses('CakeEmail', 'Network/Email');
        $Email = new CakeEmail();
        $Email->config('gmail'); //configuration
        $Email->emailFormat('html'); //email format
        $Email->to('receiveremail@ex.com');
        $Email->subject('Testing the emails');
        $Email->template('sample');//created in above step
        $Email->viewVars(array('first_name'=>'John Doe' ));//variable will be replaced from template
        if ($Email->send('Hi did you receive the mail')) {
            $this->Flash->success(__('Email successfully send on receiveremail@ex.com'));
        } else {
            $this->Flash->error(__('Could not send the mail. Please try again'));
        }
