@noors_recipes glad you got a kick out of the comments 😂

Was the chocolate cake burned, or just very dark? Viewers of The Plant Slant's most-watched new upload have been debating that distinction, with several pointing to its soft texture and others discussing black cocoa powder. The title, "@noors_recipes glad you got a kick out of the comments 😂", makes the comment-section humor part of the occasion.

That upload has passed five million views. A bean-themed doughnut reaction came close behind, a particularly fitting subject for someone whose channel bio introduces him as a guy who eats beans and cottage cheese. Between the food jokes, another upload backed @popstar.katie's message about fueling your body, while a separate title took aim at food conspiracy thinking.

The dessert shelf was generous too. The recipe accompanying the @ashleymarkleeats reaction layers chocolate chip cookie dough, a peanut butter cup and brownie batter in a muffin tin. Cottage cheese also returned in an egg-based breakfast mixture with Dijon, hot sauce, dill and hot honey.

The channel added about 30,000 subscribers, and daily views are running above their usual level. Among the nearby food channels, Sorted Food and Ian Fujimoto are also drawing busier-than-usual daily audiences, while emmymade is close to its normal pace.

Right now, an apple-wax reaction is bringing in the most daily views of any Plant Slant upload. The bean doughnuts remain active too, alongside a slow-cooker soup combining mixed beans, smoked turkey legs and collard greens. The bio's bean promise is getting plenty of follow-through.

The texture made it clear it was just colored black, not burnt

Honestly seeing how the cake looks soft and not flakey, I feel like she did a great job.

Black cocoa powder is delicious and makes it look black. I had it for my last birthday and it tasted like Oreo with a hint of smokiness but everyone loved it.
