And her buttermilk pancake mix is her first breakfast item in her Bake Like a Rockstar collection.
Dolly, whose hits include 9 to 5 and Jolene, has previously spoken about her love of baking — especially for her husband of 57 years, Carl Dean.
She has also written cookbooks.
Launching her cake mixes, the country star said she wanted to “inspire special moments in the kitchen with some of my family’s favourite recipes”.
The range is a partnership with North American food giant Conagra Brands.
Dolly said: “We’re looking to continue to inspire special moments in the kitchen with some of my family’s favourite recipes, and I think people are really going to love them!”
Lucy Brady, President of Grocery & Snacks at Conagra Brands, said: “We are beyond thrilled to build on the success of our partnership with one of the most beloved and respected women in the world.
“With our expertise in food, we’ll help bring Dolly’s vision and favourite recipes to so many tables across America, with delicious new offerings across a wide range of eating occasions.”
