Substituting 3 tbsp. of chocolate chips with cocoa powder?

Question by At a deadlock: Substituting 3 tbsp. of chocolate chips with cocoa powder?
I’m making “chocolate cake in a mug”. I only have cocoa as my source of chocolate. The recipe already calls for 3 tbsp. of cocoa, so could adding more harm it? If not, how much and with what else (like oil) would need to be a decent substitute for the chocolate chips?

Sorry but I think this substitution is a really bad idea. The cake will just not turn out remotely as it should. If you really don’t want to go out & buy some chocolate (a candy bar will do), then I think you should just make something else.
