The 1 meter side cube will cool faster than the 1 meter diameter sphere.
The rate of cooling depends primarily on the object's surface area to volume ratio. Objects with a higher surface area relative to their volume lose heat faster. For a given size constraint (in this case, either a 1m side length or a 1m diameter), the cube has a greater surface area to volume ratio than the sphere.
