OOPS. The alibi is that I didn't notice the slash bar
which now stands out so glaringly after wiping my glasses. 

in x in / in is indeedy inches, not in^3.  :-(( 
  
But if dimensional analysis is the object
cm x cm x cm is cm^3. Not cm.
The units are treated mathematically.
That's cm^1 x cm ^1 x cm^1 = cm^3
