Why does a spoonful of sugar instanly taste sweeter than the same amount of sugar in a cube?

Don't forget, that's an opinion. Personally, I think sugar cubes taste better than spoonfuls, but, of course, it's just an opinion. If I were to explain why you had you opinion, I think it's probably because your taste buds are more all-around, versus in sections. You see, tongues either have different spots where taste buds find sour, salty, sweet, etc. flavors most enjoyable, whereas other people's tongues find something tastes relatively good no matter which taste buds are being used. You must have the latter, and the spoonful of sugar is more spread out with flavor, while the cube has a more direct spot, so the spreading out-ness of the spoon makes it more enjoyable to your tongue.
