Morphology
The compound directly denotes a powder used for baking — combining 'baking' (making bread/cakes) and 'powder' (a fine dry substance) yields a powder used in baking. This compositional, noun-noun compound is cross-linguistically common (e.g. Spanish 'polvo de hornear'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer its basic meaning and function.
Etymology
Baking powder is a literal name: it is a fine powder used in baking that makes dough 'rise' by creating tiny bubbles of air when it is heated. That's why the name simply tells you what it does.
