As per the title I am having trouble understanding かかした in this sentence:
さんざん無理な注文したうえに、恥までかかしたんだ
From my understanding from the context the sentence should mean something like:
"Not only did I completely get her to do something she didn't want, but also embarrassed her too."
All I can seem to find is 欠かす which according to jisho means:
to miss (doing); to fail (to do)
But this doesn't seem to fit in my mind.
かかした in your example is the past tense form of かかす, which is a causative form of the verb かく.
かかせる is the standard/modern causative form. Its past tense form is かかせた.
かく
standard causative かかせる - past かかせた
substandard causative かかす - past かかした (← older form; used in informal situations in Kansai)
恥をかく is "embarrass oneself / feel humiliated", and 恥をかかせる/かかす means "embarrass/humiliate (someone)".
