The surface area of the cube is 
 square cm.

To solve for the surface area of a cube, we use the following formula:

\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6 \times (\text{side length})^2
\]

In this case, the side length of the cube is 8 cm. Plugging that into the formula:

\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6 \times (8)^2 = 6 \times 64 = 384 \, \text{square cm}
\]

Thus, the surface area of the cube is **384 square cm**.
