Understanding English?

Understanding English?

I had trouble understanding the phrasing of two sentences so it was hard to translate.

What does  "Favour the water bath" mean?

And in "Add an egg yolk to the chocolate and cream mix" shouldn't it be "chocolate and cream mixture" or "chocolate-cream mixture". It could be me, but I thought cream mix was a demand to beat the batter when I read it, or mix even sounded like a premade mixture like cake mix.

To favour something is to prefer it

chocolate and cream mix: here the word "mix" is used as a noun indicating that the chocolate and cream have already been mixed and so are in a state of "mix"
