Prepare the tres leches mixture by mixing heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk together.

If using powdered milk instead of evaporated milk, add it to the mixture and mix well.

Optionally, add a little bit of vanilla extract for flavor and mix all the ingredients together.

Ensure the mixture has a fluid consistency to soak the cake properly, avoiding a dense mixture that would hinder absorption.

Mention that you can customize the flavor of the tres leches mixture with options like rose flavor, mint, lemon zest, or ginger.

Check the cake to see if it's ready.
