Morphology
The meaning 'recently cooked in an oven and still warm' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'freshly' (very recently) with 'baked' (cooked by dry oven heat); there is no idiomatic shift. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common for food descriptions, so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand the MWE.
Etymology
Freshly baked comes from the simple image of bread or cakes just taken out of the oven: freshly baked, still warm and smelling good. So freshly baked means 'recently cooked in an oven and still warm'.
