That's it. The cake texture is inside the missing cup!

I bet they just added the carrots all together instead of in half cup increments for each replaced ingredient individually. You might be able to fool a cake on the content of ingredients you add, but never on the number of steps. Pretty sure I've read that in a cookbook somewhere.
