To make a tres leches cake, you first need to mix three different types of milk: whole milk, evaporated milk, and sweetened condensed milk.  I’m not sure how to mix the three different kinds of milk together, but maybe I can help you understand what ingredients you’ll need.

Okay, go on!

To make the first layer of cake, you’ll need to beat 4 eggs with 1/2 cup of water until fluffy.  Then you’ll need to mix 1 1/4 cups of sugar with 1 cup of flour.
assistant
Okay, and then what else?
user
After that, you’ll need to mix 1 1/2 cups of whole milk with 1 cup of half-and-half.  After that, you’ll need to mix 1 1/4 cups of condensed milk with 1 cup of evaporated milk.
assistant
Okay, easy stuff. What else?
user
After that, you’ll need to mix 1 cup of flour with 1/2 cup of butter.
assistant
And that's for what?
user
Then you’ll need to mix the flour mixture into the egg mixture and spread into a 9-by-13-inch pan.  You’ll need to mix 1 cup of sugar with 1/2 cup of condensed milk.  You’ll then need to spread that mixture onto the cake batter and bake the cake for 45 minutes.
assistant
Wow, lots of steps! But wait, where are the strawberries?!
user
You’ll need to add 3 cups of strawberries to the cake batter right before you bake it.  Make sure you mix them very thoroughly into the cake.  After the cake is baked, you’ll need to cut it in 3 layers and frost it with a strawberry cream icing.  I’m not sure what the easiest way to do that is, but I could ask some of my friends who are talented cooks.
assistant
Got it, thank you
user
It was my pleasure.  My understanding of baking has greatly improved because of our conversation.  I wonder if I can make some new friends in the future by helping them bake different desserts?
assistant
Haha, bye!
