It is best not to beat too much air into the frangipane.
Overmixing can lead to the mixture rising too quickly then collapsing towards the end of the baking time.
It is best to store a frangipane at room temperature in a cool room rather than in the fridge.
If your oven is too hot your frangipane may end up under-baked as it turns golden on the top too quickly but is raw on the inside.
To stop your frangipane from sinking try not to open the oven particularly for the first 15 minutes of baking.
Almond extract is quite strong so it is advised to be careful when adding it.
It should rise and form a golden dome but have just set in the centre.
When you stick a toothpick or skewer in the middle, it should come out clean with only a few moist crumbs attached.

One thing I will say, when making the pastry, don’t rush it in the food processor.
Over Mixing – Over mixing the filling will make the filling very dense.
Pastry – 1) Don’t Rush - Don’t rush it in the food processor.
If making the pastry by hand, use a blunt knife or a pastry cutter, so handling the pastry as little as possible when making it.
Not just because the butter will melt, but also, over handling pastry will make it really dry and tough to eat.
