If someone gives you a box of carrots from their garden and you make them a carrot cake, is that the same as re-gifting?

No, I think it's a sweet idea. It would be re-gifting if you passed the carrots on to someone else entirely!
-
No, though it might be in poor taste if you used ALL the carrots on it, and then gave the cake back without eating any of it.
-
No, I would think that's a nice gesture.
-
Not at all. You are using your gift of cooking, with their gift of fresh carrots, to repay a kind gesture. It is very much like my mum used to do when we were children. The lady next door had a mulberry tree. She couldn't cook mulberry pies, though. So we kids picked the mulberries, and mum cooked up a storm, sending back a couple of pies to the lady. Everyone was happy.

No, it's called mutual benefit.
