Maybe Shiva-anon can understand you better, but I'll give my input:
Transforming the carrot into a cake means you get a carrot cake? But you also need to add eggs, flour, sugar (from beets or canes), heat from the oven and the work performed. Which means the transformation from carrot to cake is following a recipe, quite literally the same as what you find in grimoires, it's a kind of ritual transformation.
