As Alexander Benson Smith said, there is a single page cache that
holds data pages, index pages, and "structural" pages like transaction
pages, space management pages, the header page, etc. When all space
in the cache is in use and someone needs a new page, the least recently
used page in the cache is overwritten. I vaguely remember an additional
check that keeps pages that have been changed in cache longer, because
they must be written to disk, not just overwritten. An inactive
database will keep pages in cache longer than an active one.

Increasing the size of the cache will probably help.
