Three tablespoons of cocoa and one tablespoon of shortening is equal to one square of unsweetened chocolate. If your recipe calls for unsweetened chocolate it should work. If it calls for semi sweet or milk chocolate, you would not be able to add enough sugar to sweeten unsweetened chocolate. The end product would be too bitter.
You have two thirds if the required amount.
Depends on what measurements the recipe for the cake calls for.

Since semi-sweet and milk chocolate are very similar, you can interchange one for the other in most any recipe. Simply use the same amount that is called for in the recipe, just with the different type of chocolate and it should be fine. For example, if the recipe calls for 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips, instead just use 8 ounces of milk chocolate chips.
1 and 1/3 cup of chocolate chips
add equal amounts of baking soda and lemon juice that add up to the amount of yeast that the recipe calls for
The traditional recipe calls for anise oil, so if you want to omit it then I would substsitute equal amounts of a vegetable or other light oil, perhaps canola.

A an easy raspberry fudge recipe calls for raspberry preserves, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, sweetened condensed milk and some red food coloring.
In cookie recipes, the recipe probably means semi-sweet chocolate chips. Bakers' chocolate, which is usually unsweetened, would be far too bitter. But you have a lot of choices, depending on the taste you want in your cookies. Semi-sweet chocolate chips tend to be the most popular, but you could choose chocolate mint chips, peanut butter, butterscotch, white chocolate chips or chocolate pieces of various sizes, from mini-chips to the larger "chunks."
