Center Contents heading in tocloft v2.3f

Question

In the past, I believe this technique was used to center the Contents heading in the table of contents via tocloft:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{tocloft}

\renewcommand{\cfttoctitlefont}{\hfill \Huge}
\renewcommand{\cftaftertoctitle}{\hfill}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\chapter{Chap 1}
\chapter{Chap 2}
\chapter{Chap 3}

\end{document}

However I recently updated the package to version v2.3f (2013-05-02) and this no longer centers the heading.

contents

How do I fix this? The answers for a related question do not work.

You can use \renewcommand{\cfttoctitlefont}{\hfil \Huge}. Than you don't need any \cftaftertoctitle — Marco Daniel, Jun 06 '13 at 20:21
I had the same problem, but while the solution suggested below worked in the example it did not work for my project. Instead I added an empty \hbox{} to \cftaftertoctitle to make it \renewcommand{\cftaftertoctitle}{\hfill\hbox{}}. Then the title was centered. — christianhaargaard, Nov 13 '14 at 20:44

From the comment by Marco Daniel, the following modification works.

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{tocloft}

\renewcommand{\cfttoctitlefont}{\hfil \Huge}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\chapter{Chap 1}
\chapter{Chap 2}
\chapter{Chap 3}

\end{document}
