No, because Extra Attack specifically requires you to take the Attack action. To cast a spell, you need to take the Cast a Spell action.
The only exception to this is if you use Action Surge or another feature/ability that provides you an additional action (for example Haste -although with haste, you would receive one weapon attack, not an additional spell action).

I wouldn't really consider Action Surge an exception, as it specifically says it gives one more Action to the character in their turn, while the extra attack specifically says that when taking the Attack action you can do two attacks instead of one.

Right, but because it specifically denotes an additional Action, you would be able to make any specific Action (ie casting a spell, attack w/ extra attack, etc.).

Yup, that's is correct :) I worded my reply possibly a bit less clear than I wanted, but that's what I meant: I would not consider Action Surge an exception because it does allow that by default, granting an additional action, while the extra attack specifically grants an extra weapon attack when using the Attack action.
Were there another version of Extra Attack feature that grants "an additional use of any action that deals direct damage" (or something along those lines), that I would personally consider to be an exception to the normal use of Extra Attack, and could be used to either make a weapon attack, or cast a damaging spell.
so if i have a monk/sorcerer with extra atk and i cast a damage dealing spell, will i be able to attack once more with melee?
No, because Extra Attack specifically requires you to take the Attack action. To cast a spell, you need to take the [Tooltip Not Found] action.
