Morphology
The meaning 'a cake made with chocolate' is directly compositional from 'chocolate' (the ingredient/flavor) + 'cake' (a sweet baked dessert). This is a common noun-noun compound pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the combined meaning.
Etymology
Chocolate cake comes from the simple picture of a cake made with chocolate. Imagine warm melted chocolate poured over a sponge, so the name tells you it is 'a sweet dessert with chocolate'.
