Is reading Surat Al-Kahf or Surat Al-Baqarah during prayer on Friday sufficient for (or in place of) reading them outside of prayer?

It is recommended for a Muslim to recite Surat Al-Kahf on Friday. This recommendation is fulfilled by reciting it during prayer or outside of it, as there is no evidence that stipulates its recitation only outside of prayer. As for Surat Al-Baqarah, its recitation is requested in the home, and reciting it during prayer within the home is sufficient. The narrations concerning the virtue of reciting Surat Al-Baqarah and Surat Aal-Imran on Friday are very weak.
