It depends on how massive the star is and what part of its life its at. Most of the time the core is the hottest, but after a star runs out of its current fuel it will start fusing elements in a shell around its core out to the surface or photosphere. While these shells are burning they are the temporary hotspots of the star, while the core gets hotter and hotter.
