You can install a piece of NM cable, either 14-2/G for a 15 amp circuit or a piece of 12-2/G for a 20 amp circuit. You connect one end to the wires in the existing baseboard receptacle box and the other end will be routed into your newly installed old work box and be connected to your new receptacle. Use wirenuts to make the splices. Black to black and white to white.
