Morphology
cane + sugar
The meaning 'sugar made from sugarcane' is directly derivable from combining 'cane' (sugarcane) with 'sugar' (a sweet crystalline ingredient); the compound simply specifies the source of the sugar. The 'X sugar' pattern indicating the raw material is a common, cross-linguistic composition, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Cane sugar comes from the plant called sugar cane, a tall grass whose juice people boil and turn into sugar. So, it simply means the sugar made from that plant and is used as a 'sweetener'.
