Put the blueberries in a pan with 3 tablespoons water, cardamom powder, and sugar on medium heat and mix till the berries become soft and juicy. Remove from heat. Let it cool.

Gently mix yoghurt with berry sauce. Save 2 teaspoons sauce for garnish. Cut the cake in the middle and take a good heap of blueberry shrikhand.
