Two things:
- Ga i ...? is followed by a soft mutation of its object - https://www.duolingo.com/skill/cy/Gai/tips-and-notes
-
cwpan is 'a cup', cwpan o siocled is a 'cup (made of) chocolate'. In Welsh we use 'a cupful of xxx', where 'a cupful' is usually paned (shortened from cwpanaid)
-
Ga i baned o siocled (poeth)? - May I have a cup of (hot) chocolate?

Sorry, I don't agree that hot is rarely used before chocolate in the English spoken in Wales. I have lived in Wales for almost 50 years and never heard the drink referred to as anything other than hot chocolate. A cup of chocolate just doesn't sound right when referring to a drink to me!
