In large bowl, beat egg yolks until lemon colored and very light. Slowly beat in 1 1/2 cups sugar. Fold in egg whites. Gently fold in flour, salt and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, mixing only enough to blend in flour. Divide batter equally among prepared pans. Bake in preheated oven 35-45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean. In a medium size bowl, combine citrus peels and juices, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and 1 cup of coconut. Stir mixture to dissolve sugar. Remove cake layers from pans to trays. Spoon citrus mixture over tops of warm layers; cool. Stack layers on a serving plate. Let stand several hours before serving to allow cake to absorb liquid. To serve, sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup coconut.
