Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'baking' (making baked goods) + 'chocolate' (confection), so a B1 learner knowing both words would reasonably infer it denotes chocolate intended for baking. While commercial nuance (often unsweetened/pure) is a specific detail, the basic function/usage is transparently derived from the constituents and follows common compound patterns.
Etymology
Baking chocolate comes from bakers who used plain, 'unsweetened' chocolate made just for baking. So the phrase now means the pure chocolate cooks use in cakes, frostings and sauces.
