Outlet in the Cupboard

Outlet in the Cupboard
Four years ago when we had our house build, we had out builder put an outlet in our cupboard that sits above the microwave to hide the power cord. This worked out great for hiding the wire and now I want to place another outlet in a seperate cupboard on the other side of the kitchen. There is in outlet about 2 feet down below the cupboard that I can tap off of, but it is on the other side of the stud.
Does anyone have any recommendations as how I could install the outlet in the cupboard without burning down my house ?
Thanks !!

Not having your wall right in front of me to see anything that might preclude this:
My first step is usually to cut the hole for the "old work" or "cut-in" (tigergrip, battleship box, etc.) and then use that hole to figure out how to penetrate the stud.
Just take it step by step.
