Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: it denotes the type of 'soda' used for 'baking' (i.e., the alkaline powder used in cakes and breads). While 'soda' has other senses (e.g., a fizzy drink), the modifier 'baking' clearly specifies the functional sense, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Baking soda gets its name from how people use it: baking because it helps cakes 'rise' by making tiny bubbles, and soda because it fizzes when mixed with acid. Those bubbles lift the batter, and the same fizz can 'clean' stains or 'calm' heartburn.
