Preheat the oven to 350 F and grease an 8 inch (20 centimeters) cake tin with butter and then dust with flour.
To a medium sized saucepan over medium heat, add the butter, sugar, chocolate and maple syrup and melt until smooth, then take off the heat and cool slightly. This step can also be done in the microwave.
Whisk in the eggs and vanilla, followed by the baking soda, salt, cocoa powder and flour.
